InfoSlides — put content on a TV or screen MCP server

InfoSlides: put content on a TV from your terminal or your agent

Turn a PowerPoint, a PDF, a photo, or a live data feed into a video stream playing on any smart TV. The lunch menu on the screen in reception. Opening hours in a shop window. A noticeboard in a school corridor. Room information in a hotel lobby. A live numbers board in an office.

This repo is the infoslides binary: one dependency-free executable that is both a developer CLI and an MCP server for AI agents like Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor. The same tools also run as a hosted server at https://infoslides.app/mcp, for assistants like ChatGPT and Claude on the web (see Hosted server).

The interesting part is that createtenant is anonymous. An agent with this server installed can take someone from no account at all* to content playing on a physical screen: provision the workspace, upload the deck, register the display, assign the schedule, hand back the stream link, without anyone opening a dashboard. As far as we know, no other digital signage platform can be driven that way.

New workspaces land on a permanent free plan: 1 screen, 4 slideshows, 2 users, 200 MB. No credit card, no trial clock, nothing expires. The whole flow below costs nothing and keeps running.

Zero to a live screen

# 1. Install (macOS/Linux; see Install for Windows and MCP clients)
#    Version-pinned. Check /releases/latest for the current one.
curl -L https://github.com/arnibj/InfoSlides.MCP/releases/download/v1.7.4/infoslides-v1.7.4-linux-x64.tar.gz | tar xz

# 2. Create a workspace (anonymous; prints an admin API key and saves it to ~/.infoslides)
./infoslides tenant create "Acme Cafe" owner@acme.test --save

# 3. Grab a ready-made deck from the starter gallery
./infoslides gallery list
./infoslides slideshow clone <gallery-id> --from-gallery

# 4. Register the screen and tell it what to play
./infoslides device create "Reception TV"
./infoslides schedule assign <device-id> <slideshow-id>

# 5. The link to open on the TV
./infoslides stream link <device-id>

Open that URL in the TV's browser or the InfoSlides TV app. It plays the content whichever way this screen is set up to play it.

As an MCP server

Hook it into an MCP client:

infoslides mcp install --client claude-code      # or claude-desktop / cursor

Or install as a Gemini CLI extension or Antigravity plugin:

# In Gemini CLI
gemini extensions install https://github.com/arnibj/InfoSlides.MCP

# In Antigravity CLI (install agy first, see below), from a clone of this repository
git clone https://github.com/arnibj/InfoSlides.MCP
agy plugin install ./InfoSlides.MCP

Antigravity installs plugins from a folder, so it needs a copy of this repository; the repository root is the plugin (plugin.json, mcp_config.json and skills/). Install agy itself first: irm https://antigravity.google/cli/install.ps1 | iex on Windows, or curl -fsSL https://antigravity.google/cli/install.sh | bash on macOS and Linux. Both routes run the local infoslides program, so install that first and put it on your PATH. (agy plugin import gemini only imports extensions already installed in Gemini CLI and takes no URL.)

Or add the Claude plugin (it uses the hosted server, nothing to install first):

claude plugin marketplace add arnibj/InfoSlides.MCP
claude plugin install infoslides@infoslides

Or install the .mcpb bundle from the latest release in any client that supports MCP bundles. It carries binaries for all three platforms and needs no runtime and no API key to get started.

Or configure it by hand (stdio transport):
